In My Bag: True Shimmer ChapStick & Fresh Effects ChapStick

I blogged back in July about how much I loved True Shimmer ChapStick in Peppermint Rush. I still do, but now, alongside Peppermint Rush I always tote a tube of Fresh Effects ChapStick in Refreshing Mandarin.

Refreshing Mandarin Fresh Effects ChapStick leaves a tingling, cooling sensation and smells great. I love that tingly feeling, which is also the reason I chose Peppermint Rush from the True Shimmer line – it’s the only True Shimmer that tingles. But both Fresh Effects flavors (Refreshing Mandarin and Invigorating Green Tea Mint) tingle, and all newer ChapStick formulations are creamy and leave your lips so smooth. True Shimmers also look great alone or layered until a gloss for added shimmer.

Either of these ChapStick options are perfect little indisposables for your clutch or wristlet and retail for only $2.99 at mass market retailers, making them cheap thrills in my book! I reapply these constantly when I’m not wearing lip color because I like the way they feel on my lips.

Dry Winds Call for Erno Laszlo pHormula 3-9 Moisture Repair Lip Balm

It’s officially Fall. I feel it as soon as I step outside when wind and chill hit my skin instantaneously. It made me sad to trade up my summer dress and Havaianas for boots and a motorcycle jacket, but… Alas. As our bodies need increased protection against the elements, so do our lips.

Erno Laszlo Moisture Repair Lip Balm coats lips with essential fatty acids, shea butter, and SPF15 to prevent dry, chapped lips. Another reason I love this balm is that the formula is not at all sticky or greasy… Actually, it leaves a relatively thin (yet moisturizing) layer of product on your lips, creating a perfect canvas for lip stick or gloss.

My favorite gloss to smear on top of this Laszlo balm? A thick, pigmented formula such as NARS. Perfect combo.
